Choker setter

A choker setter or choke setter is a logger who attaches cables to logs for retrieval by skidders or skylines.^[1]^[2] The work process involves the choker setter wrapping a special cable end (choker) around a log and then moving clear so the yarding engineer (e.g. skidder operator) can pull the log to a central area.^[3]^[4] In clearcutting, fallers will typically cut down all the trees and limb and buck them into logs before the choke setters and others arrive to remove the logs.^[5]

Radio controlled

Old chokers were made of metal. New chokers are safer, quicker and thus more productive. They are also radio controlled.
